Pharaoh

Rayhaan Pharaoh is a pretty good fragrance. It honestly just reminds me of 'Sweet Heaven - Tobacco'. The main difference between those two for me is that Sweet Heaven - Tobacco has 'spicy' notes instead of the 'boozy' notes like in this fragrance. So this fragrance to me is much more smoother than SH Tobacco. I mostly smell suede leather, boozy notes, coffee, and a tad bit of Vanilla. Definitely will edit this review because I literally just got this bottle from a homie, so idk how macerated it's been but it's pretty much brand new, barely sprayed. But as of right now, I already enjoy the scent and will wear it during the fall and winter. I paid $50 for it Even though now I see that it's $30 on Amazon but I'm not too pissy about that. Scent Profile: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 10/10 Overall: 10/10

HONEST REVIEW I strongly believe that just because you do not like a fragrance that doesn’t mean it’s a bad perfume. That being said this one is not for me It is extremely strong and the Cade oil was very present. It was the most smokiest scent I’ve ever smelt. It gave my wife a headache and I literally couldn’t bare the scent on me so I took a shower and used dish soap and it was still lingering (yes I said dish soap) Like I said, just because I didn’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s bad. If you like heavy smoke scents with spice, this one is for you! Longevity and silage are ENORMOUS! It does not smell cheap and this does not taint my view on Rayhaan. I’m more of a Terra guy and I’ll stick with that

Absolutely fucking incredible, I smell like a pharaoh. The suede combination of the light leather from the suede and the vanilla make a harmonious commanding attention grabber. The light saffron at the top also makes it similar to Crystal saffron by Matiere Premiere with an almost metallic tinge to it. This is one of the best blind buys I’ve ever gotten and I’m incredibly happy. I will be wearing this in the summer and no one can tell me otherwise. Edit: after more wears I would like a little more saffron, but still incredible. Maybe layering this with a cheap alternative to Crystal Saffron like, Ambre D’or by Armaf may be a good move.

I’ll let the comparisons with the OG for others, as while I have Babycat, I have not been able to get a sample of Caden so far. On its own: it’s a smoky vanilla fragrance with a lot of spices. Opening is quite harsh(which I expect to get better with maceration, but it’s still an issue), but the dry down is very good. It has that shoe factory suede smell that this DNA is known for, and the spices compliment it really well. Performance is amazing and it lasts until the next wash on clothing. It’s not blind buy safe, but then again, nothing Babycat-adjacent is. 8.5/10 for me.

What a gorgeous resinous, warm, sweet gourmand lover's dream gem. If you told me there are dates in this magic potion I'd believe you. This is somewhat smoky leather dominant spicy woody vanilla. The rest of the notes are simply backup dancers yet they are essential in making this scent truly unisex. There's certainly a hint of coffee but wouldn't call this a coffee scent by any means. You have to like dark somewhat dense scents to appreciate this DNA. Is this blind buy safe? Probably not. It's in the same family as Babycat. And how cool is that bottle! Love.

Okay I had a redemption arc with this one. I bought it when it first came out and it was the smokiest thing I had ever smelled. I sold it and moved on. Well I kept seeing reviews that the dry down was amazing so I bought it again. Is it Smokey? Yes. Is it amazing in the dry down? YES!! Coffee, vanilla, resins and leather! So so good! I am in love with it right now! In my experience, Rayhaan fragrances get better with time! This is a great scent for those who like mature fragrances. Do not buy this expecting a vanilla bomb. It is not that! For me it’s a 11/10

@Dramaticlex Absolutely right. It’s crazy that it hasn’t even been released yet and people are already starting to doubt and hate it. To be honest, for the price, recent Rayhaan fragrances are absolutely killing it. The quality of these fragrances is phenomenal. Ignore people’s comments on these fragrances — they act like these clones cost $300 to $500. Just sample it and test it yourself. Anyway, I can’t wait for this to be released.

Not sure how Rayhaan manager to work this magic with their products but the lasting on this one is just out of this world. And there's something about the scent profile that I cannot pinpoint but I use this as my gym, office, night....basically all day fragrance spraying about 10 sprays and it lasts me all throughout the day. No matter what! Loved this beast very much!

This is less caustic than I had expected after watching YouTube reviews but the opening 20 minutes is still pretty rough as they mentioned. Once you get past that and it gets into the dry down' you have a nice Oud Cadenza Cocoa Morado smokey-date-y fragrance. Enjoyable but I would pick Coco Morado over it if I had to choose.

The booze and suede notes came through very heavily for me, and it settled into a dark, slightly fruity tone that paints a deep blue picture in my head. The booze notes are also very prominent though discreet. This is a very beautiful scent for a cold winter night, though it probably isn't the safest blind buy.

I absolutely love this. It has a strong leather note. Reminds me of Babycat, but with less vanilla. The dry down is very much like Chanel Le Lion. I can clearly smell all the notes. This is my fourth Rayhaan, and for the first time, I’ve found something I genuinely enjoy from them.

First impression: This is beautiful niche quality scents. I love it ! Only in the opening in seconds is harsh after 1 minutes the scents is so enjoyable. SPL still not yet full wear for first spray new bottle not impress me. But for the scent 9/10 but this not safe blind buy.

Got a sample of this today. Very mature masculine scent, rich slightly sweet leather with deep resins and some spices. Very sophisticated and most definitely for special occasions. Quite Middle Eastern too. Reminds me of a Middle Eastern black orchid. Very nice!

Got myself a decant for this, smelled beautiful. Dark-suede vanilla, much more darker than Rifaaqat. SPL was insane, still projecting in the 8 hour on skin for me. If I ever run out of Rifaaqat, I might just get a full bottle of this.

Came back to say that the more this macerated, the better it got! The vanilla smoky spicy coffee is amazing!! Let it macerate!

Wow! I just picked this up at Burlington! Lucky me! 10/10. Its like Rayhaan is reading my mind.

this scent is overpowered strong just 2 sprays not more or you gonna kill your nose. 10/10

Certainly not for everyone. Heavy incense and spice with a leather saffron base. The opening punches you in the nose and dries down to something more manageable. This is a mixture of Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold with Afnan Supremacy Incense. I much prefer the softer work friendly Ishq Gold to this but I still like it a lot. Good projection and longevity. 6 hours.

Great dupe of Oman Caden for a fraction of the price. Love the bottle as well. Babycat also comes to mind and it has similar vibes to Nishani Ani. I put Caden on my right wrist and Pharoah on the left. At the top, about 80% similar but once it dries down, dam 95%! Heathery vanilla - amber - woods.... 9.0 and blind buy safe if you are a fan of Caden or Babycat.

This is really nice. Chalky amber, incensy leather and powdery choclate with some spice. Similar to Terra, I get headaches when I wear this so I can't wear them often. I really like the cardamom and leather vibe and this one has it with a bunch of sweetness and incense. Great for cool weather and nights out. I think the name and theme represent the scent well.
